Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Now I'm looking at a $400 Yorkie OK, I got the fever. Since losing out on the $200 rescue, I found a $400 Yorkie in the paper. Obviously, I'm looking for a pet-quality Yorkie. Parents: Purebred (supposedly) but unpapered. 5 years old each Mom: 8.5 lbs. Dad: 4.5. They kept a male from a previous litter between same parents, and he's 9 pounds Not professional breeder. Just a family that owns two Yorkies. 5 in litter. This is only one left. They're bringing mom and dad and pup over in an hour. Doubt I'll do it, but does it sound too expensive for unpapered dog? Oh, and a fear: Pup is only 7 weeks old, and they're ready to give him away. Said all the others in the litter are already gone, and 'weaned themselves' at 5 weeks.

| Thats a good price and the papers really dont mean anything unless you are breeding or showing.

| 7 weeks old? Eeee.....I'd be a little weary of it myself. I wouldn't take the pup either. If I liked him, I'd offer to pay them full but ask they keep him til at least 9 weeks. Just go with your biggest gut feeling.

That's what I was wondering, lilbumbleybees. I'd hate to separate from mom that young. Scary. I'm real leary, but at least I'll be able to see both parents.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Oh go for it! My guess is if you ask them to keep him a little longer they will just find someone who will take him now! I know my breeder wanted all of hers to go at the same time. At least you are an expereienced Yorkie owner who will know how to take care of a little one.

| I got Chachi at 7 weeks. Its not ideal but you are an experienced yorkie owner and I am sure it would be fine.

| Spend the waiting time looking at puppy pictures to remind you of how they should look. Pet quality can mean adorable or it can mean ugly. yikes, is that harsh? Good luck, hope it goes well. |
